• 2．    I met Luis，an exchange student from Mexico，and soon we became friends.Language was no barrier as he could speak English.If his three sisters，who spoke little English，hadn't visited us，we might have been the best friends.
     At that time，I got along well with him and determined to pay a visit to his home and make a good impression on his family.The only problem was that I was too busy with my classes to take a Spanish class.Instead，I decided to take the Spanish-English cognate （同根詞） shortcut.I thought to myself， "They are interrelated，and Spanish is not so difficult." I discovered I could add a vowel（元音）to the end of many English words.Instantly，it became Spanish.Thus "active" was "activo"； "habit" was "habito"； "abrupt" was "abrupto".
     On a Saturday night，I was invited to dinner at Luis's apartment when his sisters arrived.I thought the dinner went well since the three girls kept giving me friendly smiles.However，we kept silent，and no one seemed to break the ice.Then Luis excused himself from the table.
     With three pairs of eyes focused on me，I was forced to speak.Since I didn't know much about Spanish，I had to be careful to say anything.I chose to play it safe by simply praising the fine meal they'd made. "Me gusta el dinero，" I said，smiling at each girl in return.They unhappily stared at me as Luis re-entered the room.Confusedly，he asked， "What did you do？" I just praised your sisters for this delicious dinner，" I replied weakly，suddenly questioning my limited Spanish vocabulary.Finally，the three girls told me that "gusta el dinero" means "like money".
     That night really left me in an awkward state.I couldn't say that ended my friendship with Luis，but things were never quite the same between us after the fateful night.I learned a valuable lesson—it was always the shortcuts that got me into trouble.
  
  （1）What does the author think of Spanish and English？

  
  A．They are equally difficult.
  B．Their spellings are the same.
  C．There is a link between them.
  D．They have nothing in common.
  （2）What does the underlined phrase "play it safe" in paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．Have fun.
  B．Avoid running a risk.
  C．Play a trick.
  D．Turn to somebody for help.
  （3）Which word best describes the author's Saturday night？

  
  A．Embarrassing.
  B．Dangerous.
  C．Harmonious.
  D．Pleasant.
  （4）What can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．A Decision On Fate.
  B．A Common Mistake.
  C．A Chance Encounter.
  D．A Shortcut To Disaster.

• 3．    Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn't believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish.It turned out to be a Greenland shark，which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
     The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface.Unlike the tiger sharks they saw，this particular shark had black，worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes.Devanshi Kasana，a Ph.D．candidate at the Florida International University's Predator Ecology &；Conservation Lab，said the shark looked "really old".
     There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected.Kasana said， "As soon as it entered our field of vision，we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger.When it came to the surface，none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that." She said the discovery was especially exciting.She wondered how on earth these sharks，which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic，could be found in the tropics as well.
     Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old.The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth，which is very slow.Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length.And researchers believe the sharks don't reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
     According to Kasana，some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe，if one knows where to look.They love cold water，which is why they're found in the Arctic.However，they've also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia，thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
     The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator，the deeper researchers have to go to find them.And they go deep over 7，000 feet down，according to NOAA．
  
  （1）What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark？

  
  A．It is 400 years old.
  B．It looks just like a tiger.
  C．It has unique appearance.
  D．It only lives near the Arctic.
  （2）What does Kasana think of the discovery？

  
  A．Doubtful and fearful.
  B．Common and expected.
  C．Exciting and threatening.
  D．Surprising and confusing.
  （3）What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks' long life？

  
  A．The early maturity.
  B．The mild environment.
  C．The length of their bodies.
  D．The slow pace of their development.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．The longest-living shark in the world.
  B．The oldest fish living near the equator.
  C．A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
  D．A theory about the long life of wild fish.
